Introduction to Test Manager

Test Manager is TestMu AI's AI-native test management platform for planning, creating, executing, and reporting on software tests. It gives QA teams a single workspace for manual and automated test cases, test runs, two-way Jira sync, and release-readiness reporting, with AI that generates test cases from natural language.

What you can do with Test Manager

Test Manager covers the full test management lifecycle:

Generate test cases with AI from natural language, Jira tickets, PDFs, images, audio, or video.
Create, organize, and maintain manual and automated test cases in one central repository.
Plan test runs, execute them step by step, and record results with evidence.
Sync test cases and defects two-way with Jira.
Migrate from TestRail, Zephyr, Xray, or qTest with automated field mapping.
Track pass rates, defect trends, coverage, and release readiness on real-time dashboards.
Run guided exploratory testing sessions on desktop and mobile.

AI test case generation

Press the Tab key while creating a test case to trigger AI generation, or describe the scenario in natural language. For example, "Generate test cases to validate user login with invalid credentials." Test Manager also accepts Jira tickets, PDFs, images, audio, and video as input, and produces structured test steps with preconditions, expected results, and priority assignments.

Every generated test case is fully editable, with support for custom fields, tags, and attachments. Context-aware AI detects duplicate tests so you can reuse common cases instead of recreating them, and suggests edge cases to improve coverage. Teams cut test case creation time by up to 60%, which frees testers to focus on strategy, coverage, and quality decisions.

Centralized test case repository

Test Manager stores every test case, manual and automated, in one structured repository, giving teams a single source of truth for test case management. Organize cases into folders, tag them, and track versions, ownership, and execution status from a single dashboard, so teams can handle thousands of test cases without losing structure.

You can also import existing test cases in bulk using CSV. The import supports custom fields and values present in your files, so your data arrives with its structure intact.

Test runs and execution

Create a test run, add test cases, and assign them to testers. During manual execution, testers see each test step in sequence and record pass/fail results with attached evidence. Automated tests can be triggered from the same workspace, and results from manual and automated runs flow into one unified view, executed against real browsers and devices in the TestMu AI cloud.

Two-way Jira sync

Connect your Jira account using your hostname and credentials to link Jira issues with test cases, test runs, and results. Updates made on either side are reflected across both platforms automatically, with no copy-pasting and no version mismatches.

Installing the TestMu AI Jira App from the Atlassian Marketplace adds story-level tracking: see test cases and runs inside a Jira story, track linked issues, and update test case status without leaving Jira. QA-to-dev handoffs can trigger automatically based on issue status changes.

Migrate from TestRail, Zephyr, or Xray

Test Manager supports direct migration from TestRail, Zephyr, Xray, qTest, and any CSV-compatible source. The migration wizard imports your data via API or CSV and automatically maps folder structures, custom fields, and values, so test cases arrive with their history, traceability, and linked integrations intact. No manual rework is needed.

Reporting and dashboards

Real-time dashboards surface what matters: pass rates, defect trends, test coverage, and release readiness. QA leads and leadership get executive views of testing progress across teams and releases, so status reporting happens automatically instead of through manually assembled decks.

Exploratory testing

Run guided exploratory testing sessions across desktop and mobile. Attach evidence as you explore, track session status, and review build history, so you get structured exploration with a complete record of what was tested.

Integrations

Beyond Jira, Test Manager links tests to bugs, stories, and features across Azure DevOps, GitHub, GitLab, and all major issue trackers, giving you complete traceability from requirement to result.

Getting started

Create a free account at testmuai.com and open Test Manager from your dashboard.
Create your first test case by pressing Tab for AI generation, describing the scenario in natural language, writing steps manually, or importing existing cases via CSV.
Organize and run by grouping test cases into folders creating a test run, assigning testers, and executing.
Connect your tools by linking Jira or your issue tracker under Integrations to sync test cases and defects.
Review results on the dashboard to track pass rates, coverage, and release readiness.

Start with Set up your project to create your first Test Manager project.

Frequently asked questions

Is Test Manager free?

Yes. TestMu AI offers a free tier that includes core test case creation, management, and execution features. Paid plans unlock advanced AI-powered authoring, unlimited test runs, and priority support. See Test Manager pricing for details.

Can I import my existing test cases?

Yes. Use the migration wizard for TestRail, Zephyr, Xray, or qTest, or import from any tool via CSV. Custom fields and values are mapped automatically.

Does Test Manager support both manual and automated tests?

Yes. Manual and automated test cases live in the same repository, run in the same workspace, and report into the same dashboards.

How does the AI generate test cases?

Describe what you want to test in natural language, or provide a Jira ticket, PDF, image, audio, or video, and Test Manager generates structured, editable test steps with preconditions, expected results, and priorities. Press Tab while authoring to trigger it.

Which tools does Test Manager integrate with?

Jira (two-way sync plus an Atlassian Marketplace app), Azure DevOps, GitHub, GitLab, and all major issue trackers.
